Happy 4th of July!

 We had a really nice 4th of July.  Mark took the day off of work and enjoyed spending time as a family.  Some friends from our church were out of town and they invited us over to use their pool.  Our kids haven't spent much time swimming so we were so excited to get them in the water.  It was a hot day too so the water was very refreshing.  We spent the entire day over at their house.  It was like a mini vacation for us. 
 Even Silas got in the pool!
We spent the evening celebrating with friends from church.  We were able to watch the big show in Boise from their home.

Simming Lessons

 Today Lulu had her fist swim lesson.  I was more nervous then she was.  She did excellent!  She didn't have any fears.  She listened to her instructor and did everything she told her to do.  I was very proud of Lulu.  A few days ago Lulu didn't want to do this and was very scared.  After her lesson she told me she can't wait to come back. 
Since I didn't put her hair up fully (new at this) she had to wear a swim hat.  But Lulu didn't mind.  She had a great attitude about it all.  Next week I will do a little bun.  We had a beautiful day for swimming, warm and sunny.

A Sunny Spring Day

Today we did just about nothing. Actually we did a lot of playing. It was so warm and sunny out today that we spent the entire day out in our backyard.
Levi played on the blanket and Lulu found thousands of things to do Here she is playing in the dirt with her sand toys. Then it got really warm so I let Levi go free......it's good to take a break from diapers.Then I thought I should probably get his sun hat for him and a new diaper. I slathered him coconut oil too. That's what we use for sunscreen. Up here in the Pacific Northwest we don't get enough vitamin D so the coconut oil protects our skin from burning but yet we get all wonderful vitamin D that store bought sunscreen blocks. Lulu had fun painting with water all over the place. The patio was a great canvas and so was the shed, fence and my shoes. Here is Mr. Happy. I tried putting him on the grass but he didn't like that. The blanket turned into a play-pen because he would not crawl off of it by choice.
Levi loved just looking around. When a bird would fly by he would just watch it. He noticed airplane too. Here's Lulu digging in the dirt some more. She dug a good size hole. She said it was a house for spiders. I told her "good, be sure to bury them too." She just looked at me like "why?" Then after a full day of playing Lulu asked if she could get her swimming suit on and get the pool out. So she went swimming! She had to have her noodle too. That pool seemed a lot bigger last year. Here she is going for a dip. I think she's ready for the deep end........she's mastered the kiddie pool, or at least out grown it. Lulu was having so much fun. I think the entire neighborhood could hear how much fun she was having. Levi and I even went for a dip. And once Mark got home he got in too. We had a great day full of fun. This little pool is now officially out in the yard for the season.
